How Can My Baby Have Baby Acne, He’s Not That Old?Written by Peter Crump
Acne is a condition only affecting teenagers, true? False. Acne is a condition which can affect people of any age, hence baby acne and adult acne are common. However acne is more common in teens. Acne is number one skin problem in world and affects huge numbers of people worldwide. And baby acne, although not common, can be a cause of some angst amongst parents.What is baby acne? Acne is not totally understood, including baby acne. The cause of acne is not agreed on amongst scientists. However general consensus is that acne, including baby acne, is a condition caused by changes in body’s hormones. And when are body’s hormones changing? Well certainly in teenage years. But also at some other times in life. Like birth. When a baby has been separated from it’s mothers body by birth and it is living on it’s own for very first time. And when it is also getting some supplies of hormones from it’s mothers milk at same time. Baby acne can occur in very young babies of 2 or 3 weeks, more commonly boys, up until around 6 months or so. It appears on various parts of baby’s body such as forehead, cheeks and chin, or more rarely bottom or back, and appears as small white spots on skin. Or it could look like a red rash with raised bumps.
